• Designing scalable data architectures and pipelines using BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Cloud Composer, and modern ETL/ELT practices.
• Developing ML and GenAI capabilities using tools such as Vertex AI, Model Garden, LangChain, and LangGraph.
• Delivering scalable data products, implement DBT/Airflow workflows and API ingestion pipelines, and ensure strong observability, performance, and cost efficiency.

• Advanced proficiency in DBT, including custom macros, testing approaches, packages, and documentation standards.
• Practical experience designing and operating distributed or large‑scale data systems.
• Expert‑level skills in Python and SQL, including performance optimization and query tuning.
• Hands-on experience with GCP data services (e.g., BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, IAM) and familiarity with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, or Java.

In return, DISH offers you a collaborative environment where your architectural vision is valued, you can mentor and learn from talented colleagues, and you have the opportunity to make a significant impact on both your growth and DISH's data-driven transformation. You will be shaping how our new data platform and governance structure evolves.
